Abstract (en)
To provide a game machine for displaying a picture in which light from a light source causes the shadow of an object, and the shadow varies according to a change in the position of the light source, the shape (posture) of the object, and so forth, while suppressing an increase in the data amount. The present invention relates to a game machine for showing a picture obtained by viewing, from a predetermined viewpoint, a virtual three dimensional space (40) where a light source (48), a first object (a field object (42)), and a second object (a character object (44)) located on the first object are placed. According to the present invention, a shadow rendering object (50) for rendering a shadow (45) of the second object is placed so as to overlap a part of the first object, the part being determined based on the position of the second object. The permeability of each of the vertexes of the polygons forming the shadow rendering object (50) is determined based on the position of the light source (48), the position of the second object, and the shape data about the second object, and the game screen image is produced based on the determined permeability.
